AT&T to Snap Up Convergys Assets for $320 Million

AT&T has announced its intent to acquire the wireless operations owned by Cincinnati-based Convergys. Convergys has ownership of two wireless ventures in Cincinnati. It has a 34% stake in Cincinnati SMSA and a 45% limited-partnership interest in Cincinnati SMSA Tower Holdings. AT&T already owns the remaining 66% and 55%, respectively, of these two entities. AT&T will spend $320 million in cash to purchase Convergys' interests in the Cincinnati SMSA and Cincinnati SMSA Tower Holdings businesses so that it fully owns both. The companies contend that the sale doesn't require regulatory approval because AT&T is already the major shareholder of both businesses. The sale is expected to close in early July.

As a former Convergys

employee and manager, I am not sure this is a good thing. Convergys is a worldwide customer service and billing company. They have hundreds of clients worldwide.

Could be AT&T as "chewed off more than they can bite".
I think you're a little confused about whats going on.
did you even read the article?
Yes.

But knowing Convergys and AT&T....

ALL of convergys, are they?
